"The election commission... declares Mr Ashraf Ghani, who has won 50.64% of the votes, as the president of Afghanistan," election commission chief Hawa Alam Nuristani told a press conference in Kabul. The results had been delayed for nearly 5 months after allegations of vote-rigging from Ghani's main rival, Afghanistan's Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah, forced a recount.

If all goes well, then Ghani is likely to be the man sitting across from the Taliban at the negotiating table in a bid to chart Afghanistan's future.Current vice-president Abdul Rashid Dostum, a powerful Uzbek former warlord and Abdullah's ally, has also threatened to form a parallel government if fraudulent election results are announced.
